Authorities arrived at the scene to try and handle the situation but the mob would not budge, prompting police to use teargas to attempt to disperse the crowd.
However, this only fueled tensions further, and running battles ensued which ran for a better part of Sunday morning.
Expressing their frustrations, the angry crowd noted that the pastor attached to the church was an impostor who took advantage of one of his congregants – a young boy.
Others accused the officers of not only protecting the suspect but also using the chaos as an opportunity to gain access to building materials from the church.
For the past week, tensions have been brewing as allegations pile against the man of God.
